When the corporate media interviewed people in the area after the two boys died (I think they even interviewed the mother but I'm not sure), no one blamed Hezbollah. They blamed the Israeli government for not providing bomb shelters. They blamed the Israeli government for racism. Imagine that. With you and Nadine running the military and foreign policy departments of Israel, I would give the country about a year to survive. You keep missing the point. There is a legitimate reason for the people in that area for wanting Israel gone. It's a fight over land. It's not an irrational feeling. Simply demonizing it doesn't help matters any. If the Lebanese want to vote in Hezbollah who is to tell them that democracy doesn't really mean the right to vote, it only means the right to vote for someone acceptable to furriners.
